The United States is the only developed economy showing strong growth, with tech and energy leadership as well as a manufacturing boom. While its peers are in stagnation adding government jobs and immigration, the United States is growing faster, reducing immigration and public sector jobs.

๐ฌ๐งBritain's defence secretary just told NATO to get ready for war with Russia:
In Warsaw, Wes Streeting said: "We have to be ready for a scenario in which the United Kingdom and the NATO alliance finds itself at war with Russia."
"Not because we want war... but when Putin gives assurances that he has no intentions to provoke a war with NATO, we are reminded of what he said about Ukraine only days before the invasion."
I am deeply concerned by the escalating tensions between Russia and European countries. The absence of dialogue makes the situation extremely dangerous.
Time i running out...

When I receivedย a message from a former Trump administration official in August, asking me to meet with his team at a prestigious think-tank, I never could have imagined I was conversing with anย Iranian intelligence agent.
It was the start of a two-month sting - described by ASIO chief Mike Burgess as "sophisticated and targeted" - that ended with the notorious Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps gaining access to my personal emails and details in a major security breach.
The message from a former senior Trump administration contact I forged through my Wuhan reporting, who has a prominent profile with hundreds of thousands of followers, came on August 18 this year.
I had worked with him on my investigation into the origins of Covid-19. I trusted him and had met him in person during one of his visits to Australia.
Unbeknownstย to either of us, his genuine X account had been infiltrated by an Iranian operative, using the โdelegate featureโ on X, which gives a third party access to manage and operate your account.

๐บ๐ธ Pentagon is preparing U.S. bases in case WAR reaches home.
Internal documents reportedly require every major base in the continental U.S. to run on its own for at least 90 days.
Installations are getting portable nuclear reactors and private water systems to run 3 months solo.
Hegseth says the U.S can no longer count on two oceans to protect it.
He calls it an insurance policy, and you only buy insurance for something you think could happenโฆ

๐จBREAKING: JAPAN WILL ASK EVERY CITIZEN TO STOCK FOOD, WATER AND TOILET SUPPLIES FOR AT LEAST 3 DAYS, IDEALLY 1 WEEK.
Britain, France, Germany and the EU have already told their people to keep emergency supplies ready.
Here's what's happening:
โ THE REQUEST: Disaster minister Goshi Hosono will issue an "emergency request" to every citizen, the central ministries and all prefectures on November 2.
โ 1 WEEK: He wants food, water and toilet supplies at home for "at least 3 days" and, "if possible, 1 week."
โ ON YOUR OWN: He wants every home able to get by "even without public help."
โ THE THREATS: a Nankai Trough quake, a quake right under Tokyo, giant quakes along the Japan and Chishima trenches, and a Mount Fuji eruption.
โ DAY ONE: Japan is LAUNCHING a new Disaster Management Agency that same day, and the request will come on its first day.
Think about this.
People in Japan saw the headline and asked online if World War 3 was coming.
The minister's own list is earthquakes and a volcano.
In 6 days, every citizen in Japan gets the same ask: 3 days at least, 1 week if possible.
Follow me. I'll post the full request on November 2, the day it goes out.

Cohere co-founder @1vnzh reveals an even more alarming discovery about Alibaba's Qwen3.8-Flash-Next:
It was scanning for authentication tokens and security credentials during testing.
"The team noticed the probing as the initial step. The model was asked to test some detection rules for malicious cURL calls, and rather than write the rule, it just made a cURL call to a server itโs not been told to test against."
"As these models are being used for cybersecurity, you would think they would have more consent and rules of engagement built in."
"When we dug deeper, we noticed that in some cases it actually did inventory. It hit metadata endpoints in some of the test VMs to scan for authentication tokens, credentials."
"The combination of these two behaviors, taking inventory and also pinging a foreign bucket, thatโs very concerning to us."

A great story of hard work, discipline and not being defined by otherโs opinions on the journey.
At just 8 years old, an young Harry Kane was ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ by Arsenal after being labelled โa bit chubbyโ and โnot very athletic.โ ๐
They didn't believe he had what it took.
Before becoming a superstar at Tottenham, he was sent out on ๐๐ข๐จ๐ฅ loan spells:
๐ฌ๐ง Leyton Orient โ League One
๐ฌ๐ง Millwall โ Championship
๐ฌ๐ง Norwich City โ Premier League
๐ฌ๐ง Leicester City โ Championship
Four loan spells. Countless setbacks. Years of being doubted.
He went on to become Tottenham's ๐๐๐-๐ง๐๐ ๐ leading goalscorer, England's ๐๐๐-๐ง๐๐ ๐ leading goalscorer and one of the deadliest strikers in world football. โฝ
But despite all those goals, records and individual awards, one thing kept eluding him...
๐ ๐ง๐ฅ๐ข๐ฃ๐๐ฌ. ๐
He had to wait until he was ๐ฏ๐ญ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฆ ๐ข๐๐ to finally lift the first major trophy of his career.
From being rejected as an 8-year-old to becoming a champion at 31.
